Low vitamin E intake during pregnancy can lead to childhood asthma

ring pregnancy had been relatively low were more likely to wheeze even when they had no cold.

For the previous study, the investigators recruited 2,000 pregnant women at 12 months gestation who were attending area antenatal clinics between 1997 and 1999. Plasma antioxidant concentrations were measured in 1,856 mothers at 12 weeks gestation. In addition, symptom questionnaire data was later obtained for 1,253 children. From that group, 478 children were able to provide a lung function test measurement.

In light of the new findings, the authors concluded that the relationship shown between mothers' vitamin E intake during pregnancy and the respiratory outcomes of their children were likely "underestimates of the true association."

"The results of the present study suggest that dietary modification or supplementation during pregnancy to reduce the likelihood of childhood asthma warrants further investigation," said Dr. Devereux.

The researchers added that vitamin E supplementation in adults with established asthma has not been shown to be of clinical benefit.
